hey all.

anyone looking for work, cos we need staff at my job.

the position would be casual with full time hours basically. pays $18.95 a hour or something, just a few cents of $19.

the yard is in kewdale, here company website should help explain things.

http://www.prixcar.com.au/

we mega understaffed atm, and thought since car lovers here people wouldnt mind working with cars.

we deal with some nice car companies."Merc, BMW, Honda, Lexus, Jag, Lotus, Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge ,Audi and more.'

any intrests let us know. or just send in resume, they are constantly hiring people.

in december (may be prolonged more) we are moving to new yard closer to airport, which will be 5 times the size, 24 hour run time. etc etc. so need people now so know what their doing when flat out busy.

So thats $18.95 p /hr before tax?

Whats average wage there for a 38 hr week, "nett"? Do they pay pentaly rates/ OT? holiday pay?

Do they offer job enrichment? or they just want no brainer monkeys with no chance of advancement?

just wondering since it seems like there is a high turnover, which implies there is either no job enrichment or incentive pay.

cheers mate

cheers mate

the hours are 7am-3:06pm (dont ask about the 6) 5 days week. very rarely work saturdays. working full week gives you like 580-590 in hand ( i personally dont work full week, cos of other job i leave at 2pm not 3pm) and im getting 540 in hand a week. they pay overtime on weekends if work saturday first 3 hours 1.5 and anything after double time. but no overtime during week. that i know of. i geuss the job could lead somewhere, yard Supervisor, operations super, and so on. was offered yard super just recently but cos of other job could not do so, FullTime aval after proven self as such. (FT rates at $16 or so)

there has been high turnover laterly alot of longtime works have left. it can be nasty work, as today for example, if it rains u work in it and in summer its hot. there is 2 sections of work, BUILD and YARD, build involves install stereos and mudflaps all other stuff before dealer delivery. YARD involves collection of cars from stock and preparing for build. whihc can be any where from dewax, microdotting, G101 washes. but mainly pulling out and washing for build. and then presavation and general sorting of yard.

hopefully anwsers something. if not ask more.

That pretty much goes hand-in-hand with all high turnover jobs (ie call center, customer service) decent money for vanilla work. Great for young kids getting first jobs etc.

nah the yard super is good, just like another worker really, you have to work though but can have fun, just no standing there on phone or anything. all works pretty laid back though, no WHIPPING :D unless work flat out and need to catch up. but nothin harsh.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
